"Genshin Impact 5.5 Update:

Get ready, Genshin Impact fans, as Version 5.5, titled "Day of the Flame's Return," is set to launch on March 26th, intensifying the experience in Natlan. This update is packed with exciting new content that will enhance your journey through Teyvat.

One of the most anticipated features in Version 5.5 is the introduction of controller support for Android users. This long-awaited addition will bring a new level of control and immersion to your gameplay. You can find out more about the supported controllers by following this link.

What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?

Venture deep into the southwestern part of Natlan, where you'll encounter a new tribe, the Collective of Plenty, a massive volcano known as the Great Volcano of Tollan, and new characters. This region is steeped in ancient secrets, with a sacred city that has been dormant for ages. As magma stirs beneath, your mission is to unravel the mysteries of the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the enigmatic Little One. The Collective of Plenty, a tribe dedicated to fitness, challenges you to test your strength in their unique way of life.

Two new characters are joining the fray: Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user who uniquely restores Phlogiston after consuming food, making her a valuable support character outside of combat, and Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder, one of Natlan's six heroes. Iansan combines offense with support capabilities, gaining the Warming Up effect when a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst, allowing her to provide continuous healing.

In the first phase of Version 5.5's Event Wishes, you'll have the chance to pull for Varesa and Iansan, along with reruns for Xianyun, Xilonen, and Venti. Check out the trailer below for a glimpse of what's coming.

The Bloomflower Trials Are Making a Comeback

Join forces with Mavuika, Ifa, and other allies from Natlan to aid a sick Saurian. Engage in the "Saurian Treasure Seeker" mini-game, where you'll guide baby Saurians through obstacles to collect treasures. By participating in this event, you'll have the opportunity to invite Ororon to your team for free.

For those seeking a challenge, a new boss, the Lava Dragon Statue, awaits in the volcanic fissures. You can download Genshin Impact from the Google Play Store and immerse yourself in this expansive update as soon as it's available.
